If you have seen my other blog, I am sure you have already seen my son Evan. But since we are introducing ourselves, I wanted to show him off here,too! He is 7.5 months old, and truly the light of my life.
Today I discovered what I am sure many of you already know...taking pictures of a baby is hard! I ended up switching to auto for quite a few of the pictures, and out of over 50 shots, there were only a few I even liked, and I'm still not completely satisfied. Please tell me this is normal!?
Anyway, here is my curious, stubborn, delightful son- complete with ears that stick out like Liquid Metal Terminator (or so my husband informs me!)

What a cutie! Taking photos of boys (I have a 13 yr old and a 2yr old) is a hard task so getting only a few out of a 100+ shots is normal. I like th e color in the second pic and first pic is adorable too....maybe you can put him not dead center (rule of thirds) and you will see that it will create more visual interest. Can't wait to see more :)
These turned out very cute. I really like #2. Babbies are really hard to shoot, wait until he can walk and run, it'll only get harder : )
LOL! Kids can really try your patience as a photographer but stay at it. Eventually, you WILL get the shot. Your little one is such a cutie-patootie. Love the ear reference...you slay me!

He is such a cutie. I have a 2YO and, you're right, it can be hard. My best advice (as a mom)is don't aim for perfection in every shot. Some of my favorite photos of my son are the antithesis of technical perfection - but they show him being him!
The photographer side of me says - #2 is fantastic - great color, great framing. I agree with the comment above on #1 - maybe crop to move him a bit off center. It also looks kind-of blue to me - maybe warm it up a bit. It is still a great shot! Love that grin.
he is way adorable. Too cute!
What a precious little man you have! Such a doll! Thanks for sharing him with us :)

awww what a cutie! I have an 8.5 mo old so I understand how hard it is...especially when you want eye contact. :)
What a cutie! Babies can give you a workout trying to get a great photo...I really like #2.
